After the drilling runtime of 2 hours and 46 minutes, the makers of Yennai Arindhaal have suddenly woken up to the response of audiences and theatre owners and trimmed down 6 minutes of scenes from the film.
Now, the movie starts right away at the airport where Anushka meets Ajith. The Yaen Ennai song and Anushka’s small talk with her parents in the beginning are cut out. The Maya Bazaar song which showcases the dance performance of Trisha has also been cut down to keep the momentum going before the interval. Gautham Menon has earlier said if the film runs successfully, he will urge AM Rathnam to release the uncut 3 hours and 10 minutes version in DVDs and few screens.
